A small path leads from the main way to this viewpoint. Just walk through the woods/bushes for about 30m.

Unfortunately, there's no longer a bench here, and the roof isn't really there anymore either. But the view is fantastic!

Highly recommended - with a steep climb, but a beautiful and rewarding view. P.S. Don't forget the mosquito spray. 😅
